Latest version of this handy tool is out. You can download Steam Achievement Manager 5.1 here.
This works for all your favorite games, including Left4Dead (L4D), Team Fortress 2 (TF2), Day of Defeat (DoD), and a bunch of new games, like On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness (Penny Arcade), Multiwinia, and Children of the Nile. Use the Steam Achievement Manager to unlock achievements in your favorite Steam based games. This most recent version comes hot on the heels of the Steam Cloud functionality in the latest Steam client.
You can use this to unlock weapons without unlocking all of the achievements. Just unlock the milestone achievements to unlock weapons in TF2 and L4D, and leave the other achievements locked. This way you get all the shiny toys, but still get to achieve things normally.
How to use below the cut:
How do you use it? Follow below the cut! :
- Install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 if you do not already have it installed.
- Download Steam Achievement Manager.
- Extract it to a directory that is convenient to you, but not your Steam directory. It’s a ZIP file, if you don’t know how to extract a ZIP file then you probably shouldn’t be trying to use this tool.
- Run Steam if it is not already running.
- Exit any active VAC protected games if any are running. While this tool does not directly interact with any game itself, it is better safe than sorry.
- Run Steam Achievement Manager and do whatever you want in it.
4.0 is out… and your 3.1 version is missing several required files actually.
Thanks David. I’ve updated my site. What files were missing, out of curiosity?
Just by curiosity what do you mean with exit any steam games?
Word press really needs a plugin that forces users to listen to their comment before submitting. It means exit any steam games before running(!) wtf. Just on the off chance any files needed by the unlocker is in use by the game at the moment. Close L4D, TF2 or whatever you might have alt+tabbed out of to try this out and then run it.
>unlockable guns
>L4D
what what
what have I been missing
Didn’t they come out with another line?
Yes, I’ve updated the link to reflect that. Version 4.0 is the most recent version.
It’s been more than a month since the last post, any updates to report?
Valve is working on making unlockable items no longer achievement based (too easy to hack) and instead determined by gameplay. But for now the Steam Achievement Manager works.
I see. Thanks for telling me.
When i run it appear a message that says “SAM detected a problem and must be closed” Why?
I don’t Know why but when i launch this it goes straight to what the guy above said… I have everything needed to work but it just crashes on launch… I have used it once before and it was successful… so why can’t it work now?
Dont work …. “SAM detected a problem and must be closed” its shit ,, fck ,
Its broken until the dev fixes whatever Valve did to Steam. The developer is currently on a bar crawl across paraguay and will fix it when he gets back (and the hangover subsides).
when will he get back?
The new version is now avalable for download at http://www.nearlydeaf.com or http://gib.me/sam
Great! It worked! THANK YOU! I got my achievements back for l4d 2! They were glitched because of an update!
any1 else having problems with this after the soldier/demo update?

Steam fixed this
Now the program doesnt works
it works just fine, google Steam achievement manager, first link is original site for 5.2 , dont seem to be able to remove milestone and get again to duplicate weapon tho ^^

Yes, it can also lock achievements.
When I start this it says “Steam is not running. Please start Steam then run this tool again.” When i already have Steam on… any solutions? I have no games on when I start this
I’m getting the same error. Saying “Steam is not running, please start steam then run this tool”
Restart steam, make sure you’re not using the Beta. Also you probably need to be signed in to your friends list with the status set as “online”.
My apologies I downloaded the vs 6.0 and told it to over write the older version. Aparently it doesn’t allow that. So I deleted the old files and put the new files in the folder and it works. Sorry for the post!
There are a number involving causes which can be assigned to this particular undeniable effects.
Obviously the standard income will continue to stick to Clash of Clans
Hack to the foreseeable future. Your economic press would seem struggling to constitute the brain upon these kinds of concerns
which unsettles traders. For you to offer on the list of excellent politics analysts Odysseus Bootlegger ‘The accomplishment regarding
any politics system can just truly always be looked at once the extra fat girl has sung.
a Amazingly, he / she new practically nothing connected with Clash of Clans Hack until he or she
was very well directly into the thirties. I feel firmly
that in case political figures invested much less time thinking of
Clash of Clans Hack in addition to set far more effort into their household lifetime, we could
enjoy a diverse nation.
The reason why would Clash of Clans Hack corner the street?
- To access the opposite facet! Only my very little joke, nevertheless
why don’t we expect which Clash of Clans Hack does not invigorate comparable hilarity over the following elections.
For me Clash of Clans Hack should not be allowed to get in the way
of the bigger problem: the reason usually are we all right here?
Positioning that to one side its of wonderful magnitude.
That determines get, pumps out ‘fires’, and it brings the
most beneficial available throughout persons. I most certainly
will depart the last word towards the popular Beyonce De Niro:
My spouse and i demand Clash of Clans Hack, almost nothing a lot more almost nothing
fewer.
